Who knows. When we would go east though, prolly about 1959, I’d make sure we stopped at whatever station that was the gave out the orange horse hoofs to paste on the rear window. Didn’t have those in Minnesota. Dad was a sport.

I had broken my leg and was walking around on crutches for a while back then. A friend of my mother’s attached a Esso tiger tail to one of the crutches.

I wasn’t positive if it was Gulf stations, but I did a bit of googling and confirmed that it was.

I happened to visit an Exxon station today, and there was a tiger painted on the front side of the pump. So apparently he’s still around.
